Those of you who attended the small caliber shoot met my friend Mark and his boy Hunter. Well...Hunter had a GREAT weekend. Killed his first deer yesterday In the MD youth hunt. Big doe 85 yds thru woods. Laid her right out with the 7-30 waters. Mark had to go to a waterfowl expo today and asked me to sit with him. Gladly I did.
We got on stand and had a spike come in about 8AM. Mark was still nearby in truck and I texted him to see if he should shoot. The spike got downwind before he answered. Not 5 min later this buck shows up. Came right in. Hunter had to sit on my lap to get over the shooting rail. Shot him at 20 yards with his muzzleloader. Only went about 50 yards. Great thing was, it was early and Mark was still nearby helping another lucky hunter who got her first deer. He got to come over and help get it out.
Great day indeed. And Mr Jim, if you're out there, thank your lovely wife Gretchen, for cooking us all a big breakfast!
